Control
Seems in Memphis, they can’t get the school system under control what with all the shootings occurring in those gun free zones. So, a modest proposal:
Memphis City School Board Member Kenneth Whalum, Jr. wants to immediately shut down all schools following two shootings in eight days.
Whalum said all schools should be closed until the district can find a way to assure parents and teachers that guns are being kept off campuses.
Or you could get in there, and take control of the situation.

Not to mention, the administrators and teachers know who the ganbangers are, but let them stay in school, jumping in other kids and shooting the ones who refuse.

In other words, they need to stall until they can come up with a believable line of bullshit.

It’s not the teachers! I report and document suspicious activity and school administrators as well as the school police officer fail to respond. I have filed multiple police reports with no avail. I write down, call down, file complaints with no follow through. The schools are broken from the top down. Teachers have been forced to become hall monitors, police officers, narcotic officers, social workers and counselors in the nation’s worst schools. Johnny doesn’t care about algebra when Sammy is packing. Our principal told us “metal detectors don’t do anything. We have to have good relationships with our students.” I’m not worried about my students; they are in class doing their work. I’m worried about the load of children wandering the hallways smoking, drinking, defacing property and having sex. UGHHHH! I am a bandaid on an infected, oozing wound……I cannot help unless someone comes in sterlizes and cleans out the gunk.

So schools would be closed forever? Seems to fix that government education problem.
